Facing The Crowd! D*Face Will Launch His First Solo Show At Seattle’s Treason Gallery

For fans of street art, D*Face is quite a popular name. Today the artist returns to the news feed as he will soon launch his first solo show in Seattle’s Treason Gallery. The exhibit is entitled “Home Is Where the heART Is” and will feature both new and old works. Included in the collection is his unique portrayals of Marilyn Monroe and Queen Elizabeth II, while also serving as a showcase of his mixed-media sculptures called Create and Annoy. The plaque-like pieces build upon his D*Dog character in varying skeletal versions. These pieces will be up for grabs for around $4,000 USD each.

The artist spoke about the show and stated: “This show immediately presented itself to me as an opportunity to be introspective – to throw on the brakes and look back at some of the images and icons that shaped my work from the outset.” He added “I wanted to combat the idea that nostalgia is the enemy of progress. Appropriately applied past experience can be one of the most useful tools a person has, and personally I’ve always been a ‘don’t fix what ain’t broke’ kinda guy anyway.”

Take a look at a few pieces in the images below and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Look for “Home Is Where the heART Is” to launch at Treason Gallery this August 2nd. Stay tuned for much more from the world of art coming very soon.
